Shaolin Kung Fu, the popular myth states, takes lifetimes to learn. You have to go spend three days sitting in front of the temple to be accepted for teaching. You have to undergo bizarre training rituals that will enable you to do handstands on one finger, rip the bark off of trees, break tones of concrete with your head, and…and that’s not the truth.
Those are myths spread by people who want to impress people; by TV programming like the Kung Fu series starring David Carradine.
You don’t have to go to the Shaolin Temple to learn Kung Fu…you can learn this ancient martial art online!
The truth is actually quite a it more simple, yet even more powerful.
The first Shaolin Kung Fu book to hit the shores was ‘Secrets of Shaolin Temple Boxing’ by Robert W. Smith.
In that book Mr. Smith stated that Bodhidharma brought Kung Fu to the Shaolin Temple. Actually, he brought a system of calisthenics to help the dilapidated monks get strong enough to listen to his lectures without falling asleep.
The monks used this method to get stronger, and ended up defending themselves against bandits, and changed the simple calisthenic into a self defense system.
The monks realized five principles of combat (animal fighting modes), eventually expanding the five principles into 72 techniques.
So Shaolin Kung Fu shouldn’t take a lifetime to learn. It should be able to be learned within a few months.
The original Shaolin monks learned it within months; why can’t you?
The reason is that for over 2,000 years well meaning people have been adding things to the once simple system. These things have confused Shaolin Kung Fu, mushed concepts all together, put techniques out of order, and even slanted it for tournaments or other personal interest.
In Shaolin Kung Fu the five animal fighting modes have been redefined. The original five animals were the tiger, snake, crane, leopard, and dragon.
But the tiger and the leopard are similar; why should you learn two animals that ae pretty much the same?
In the system called the Shaolin Butterfly the five animals are the tiger, snake, crane, dragon, and Monkey.
Actually, the monkey has been held to be one of the original five animals by many schools of thought.
So, we have a revised and better definition of the five animal fighting modes.
Now, each of the five animals has a specific attribute; one gives strength, one gives balance, and so on.
The problem is that these attributes are mere descriptions, tactics, at best, and not real martial arts techniques.
However, if you assign a stance to each animal, you suddenly come up with the five original concepts of the Shaolin Kung Fu monks.
The tiger is aggressive, and he uses the front stance for charging.
The crane is delicate and balanced, and he uses the one legged, crane stance to achieve this.
The Dragon twines and writhes, and he uses a cross kneeling type of stance.
The snake is flexible clinging, and he uses such stances as the one legged squatting stance.
The monkey is agile, and he uses the back stance to build this agility.
Now, these are still mere approximations of techniques. But one can see how the five stances could be used to begin the animal emulation process. But, how does one expand upon these stances/characteristics into a simple list of techniques?
Well, there is only so much that can be put into an article.
But, if you really want to learn this stuff, and I mean in months instead of lifetimes ~ if you want to figure this stuff out and be able to use it in real life ~ then you’ll find another great article on Shaolin Instruction at Monster Martial arts. Or, you can take a look at the Shaolin Kung Fu Butterfly course itself.
I went to see superman today,
definitely a martial arts movie.
Supie has daddy probs,
and the bad guy has mommie probs,
(not really, but it sounds funny to say)
and it is a slugfest fantastic!
And I had this thought
about halfway through the movie.
There’s a little superman in ALL of us!
A martial artist is a superman.
Sure we are.
We’re stronger,
longer lasting.
We rarely get sick,
we even tend to avoid accidents!
Wouldn’t you say that is a cut above Joe Ordinary?
So what makes us that way,
and what is our kryptonite?
What makes us superman is simple.
On the physical level it is the simple work out.
When you do a the first form of Karate,
for instance,
you are doing twenty lunges.
By the time you have done five forms
you have done lunges,
kneels,
squats,
all manner of sheer physical exercise.
So when you are doing Martial Arts,
you are doing body calisthenics
the way a madman might do them.
Or…
a superman.
On the second level we have energy.
Every time you do your forms
you are doing cycles of deep breathing.
This oxygenates the body,
feeds the tan tien
(the energy generator)
and cause incredible amounts of sheer energy
to swarm through the body.
So when you are doing martial arts
you are feeding the energy system,
and making something
a lot longer lasting and more powerful
than even the muscles you have built up.
On the third level we have thought.
Thought is the most powerful thing in the universe,
and Joe Ordinary doesn’t even know it exists!
Joe Ordinary thinks thought is doing a book report,
or something like that!
But we know the truth.
We know the truth because we built up all that energy,
and all that energy had to be controlled,
and the only way to control energy is with thought.
And all that energy we build up in the body,
as we learn to control it,
we learn to control the energy of the universe.
And thus,
through three levels,
we become stronger,
longer lasting,
have more energy,
know how to control that energy.
Can you understand why I refer to us as…
supermen!
Now,
what is our kryptonite?
That is an interesting question.
What can harm us?
The only thing in the universe,
the whole entire universe,
that can harm a superman is…
himself!
He can abuse his powers,
fragment his self,
lose sight of that incredible energy that is him.
The exact procedure
for making yourself less than a superman,
and,
indeed,
less than a man,
is to forsake virtue.
Virtue is part of the soul,
it is the desire to do good.
When we don’t teach,
share the lessons,
spread our charm,
then the energy dies,
we fragment,
and lose sight of our superhuman selves.
Virtue.
Help a child.
Pet a dog.
Laugh at a barbecue.
Wrestle with your younger brother…and let him win.
Tell a girl she is beautiful.
Hold a job,
learn,
share.
That’s all it takes to protect our superhuman powers.
And how super can we get?
Well,
that depends on your work out.
The more work out you do,
the more forms you do…
(every form is a prayer)
…the stronger you get.
The more times you do a technique,
the more integrated you become as a human being.
The more times you kick and punch,
the more you fill yourself with superhuman powers.
And,
of course,
there are going to be those that disagree.
Who say that I’m wrong,
and give other reasons.
but they are mere earthlings.
If we are patient enough,
we can raise them up.
And patience is a virtue.
And maybe they will come,
someday,
to the truth that we know.
You are a superman.
So,
go enjoy the movie.
Have a ball.
Eat popcorn and cheer for the good guys,
and feel sorry for the bad guys.
They just haven’t worked out enough,
lost sight of themselves,
don’t know their own power.
Enjoy the movie.
And,
BTW,
the new site is called…
Free Bruce Lee.
Google it,
it’s about a super guy,
and it’s got some super stuff on it,
and it is built for super people to enjoy.
Have a great work out!
Al
And don’t forget to go to…
Start your journey to superhuman right here…

Free Bruce Lee Website Promises to be Significant!
Bruce Lee is the most famous martial artist of all time. He impacted upon America like a Kung Fu fist, shaking all our standards of Martial Arts style fighting and cinema alike.
Bruce’s Martial Art, Jeet Kune Do, would bring elegance to streetfighting, and a sureness of character.
Bruce Lee (The Little Dragon)
His movies would replace the pale chop sockie kung fu flix in a heartbeat.
It is only fitting, then that the most prolific martial arts writer of all time, Al Case, would choose to put up a website dedicated to The Little Dragon. Still in composition, the website is called Free Bruce Lee! And you didn’t even know he was in prison! (He he, snuffle snort–sorry, couldn’t resist).
Anyway, the website already has a handful of articles on Bruce’s life and times, including handwritten letters, articles his martial arts and insane workouts, and even pieces on his actual fights.
That Bruce Lee got in fights is no secret. He grew up in a tough town, was a member of a street gang called the ‘Tigers of Junction Street,’ fought in the Hong Kong Boxing Championships, and, of course, had that famous battle with Wong Jack Man.
The fight with Kung Fu stylist Wong Jack Man is, of course, the most interesting of all Bruce Lee’s fights, as it may be the one that Bruce actually lost, or at least came out on the sad side of a draw. There is MUCH controversy regarding this fight, and of particular interest is the article entitled: ‘Bruce Lee Battle with Wong Jack Man!‘
As has been noted, this website is in the beginning stages, but it promises to be the most valuable Bruce Lee resource on the whole net. It is in depth, written by a writer who lived through those times, and offers the unique perspective of a martial artist who has studied the life of Bruce Lee since 1967 (when the author began martial arts, and when Bruce Lee hit the small screen as Kato in the Green Hornet television series).
Matrix Kung Fu win coming your way,
and it is powerful,
and I want to explain something about the Core Package.
The core package is four courses,
Matrix Karate Matrix Kung Fu
Matrix Aikido
The Master Instructor Course.
The theory behind it is simple.
Matrix Karate begins the matrixing process on any martial art.
You do the course, learn karate,
but,
more important,
you have the basics of matrixing.
You then apply matrixing to any art you know.
You take,
say,
Wing Chun,
and you put it to the Matrix Karate Template.
You isolate the proper blocks,
and actually do the karate forms
with Wing Chun.
Or Shaolin,
Or Kenpo,
or whatever.
Doesn’t matter what art it is,
you can take it and insert it into the matrix karate template,
do the exact same forms with a different art,
and,
wham!
Your other art is matrixed.
So that’s the first course.
Matrix Aikido is a look at how to make a grab art
out of ANY technique.
You throw a punch,
somebody blocks,
and you do a simple concept,
and suddenly you have a whole new world
opening up for you.
Now,
it is is a wild and wooley world,
but it is open,
and once you step through those doors
you are going to need Matrix Kung Fu.
Matrix Kung Fu applies that concept to every joint,
breaks down every joint in the body
so that you have the proper education
and can understand exactly what you are doing
even when you are doing
something you have never done before!
And,
I should say,
it doesn’t matter which course you do first,
Matrix Kung Fu or Matrix Aikido.
The effects,
in the end,
will be the same.
You will be able to take ANY technique
out of ANY martial art
and make a grab art out of it
all the way to lock or takedown.
Now,
I should say more at this point,
I have a win to offer,
but let me tell you something about the Master Instructor Course,
before I give you the Matrix Kung Fu win.
The Master Instructor Course matrixes the body.
It doesn’t get all mystical,
it is merely a scientific breakdown
of how energy works in the body,
and you can use this to make your form perfect,
and your techniques perfect.
And I do mean perfect.
After you see the right reason for doing something,
you will give up your wrong ways
and focus on the right ways,
and you will be in an entirely different realm of martial arts.
The data on the Master Instructor Course is instantly usable,
and nobody,
and I mean NOBODY,
can argue with what I tell you on that course.
And the truth is this…
if a fellow doesn’t know the material on the master instructor course,
he isn’t really an instructor.
And I tell you this,
if you’re an instructor,
order the course,
if I’m wrong,
get your money back.
But,
some future newsletter
I’ll talk more about the Master Instructor Course,
what it does to a person,
and all of that.
This newsletter,
however,
I promised you a Matrix Kung Fu win.
Hello Master Case,
…I wanted to say that this Matrix Kung Fu is the best I have seen from everything that I have of yours so far! Furthermore, this course is the best course on throws and locks that I have ever seen due to its simplicity yet comprehensive nature. If a student learns these forty techniques then that student can learn any similar type throws or locks based on the foundation that Matrix Kung Fu provides. The only comment I would make as far as changing anything is that this is really Matrix Chin Na (which in my opinion is an excellent system).
The video is very well done, the techniques are excellent, the material is very original, and the step by step explanation is great! I practiced these with my black belt son first and then started to teach them to my Monday night martial arts students. The techniques worked great!
Thank you for the fantastic work you do!
Sincerely,
John
John M. Landry, Ph.D.
Thank you, John.
Your kind words inspire me.
And,
for everybody out there.
I’m not getting rich on this,
check out the price of the course,
it’s…cheap.
But the data is priceless.
The thing is this,
everybody out there wants to make money,
I want to get better,
and the ONLY way to get better in this life
is to make other people better.
To be a helping personality,
instead of a greedy or desperate personality.
That’s why I do what I do.
That’s why I keep the prices low
so ANYBODY can afford my courses.
Now,
I want you to consider something.
John did the course,
grabbed his son and said,
let’s go!
And,
he is now teaching others what he learned.
His teachings have improved,
and my real pay is…
his students are getting better.
And their students will get better.
And maybe I will have done something
in my short life
that is of worth,
that has value,
that actually helped people.
As I said,
that’s why I do what I do.
So check out the Matrix Kung Fu course here…

Now,
a word…
It looks like Monkeyland is coming true.
120 acres on top of a mountain.
Absolutely idyllic.
Paradise.
We’re working hard on it,
and I hope to have an announcement,
complete with pics and plans
in the near future.
And,
at this point,
you can contribute merely by sending me
your kind thoughts and mental pictures
of what Monkeyland looks like.
Very exciting.
The most significant thing to happen in the martial arts
since the establishment of the Shaolin Temple.
So,
stay tuned,
and I’ll tell you more about it when I can.
Now,
time for you to do a work out!
Me, too!
Talk to you later.
Al
Don’t forget to go to…
http://monstermartialarts.com/martial-arts/matrix-kung-fu/
Happy weekend!
Have a GREAT work out!
And,
I hope you have some small goal set for this summer.
That’s how you get the big ones,
you know.
You just set aside small goals,
do them one at a time,
and before you know it,
you’ve made it.
Like small colored belts up to the black belt.
One step at a time.
After a while you become a different person.
A person who keeps going,
keeps taking steps
while others fall off to the wayside.
I shoulda taken that karate class when I was a kid!
Now,
I came across a great ad today.
It was in my email box,
attached as an add on to a prepper newsletter I get.
Normally I trust these guys,
but when I saw the ad
I had to recalibrate.
Cancel city, here I come.
The ad,
you see,
was for the martial arts. Oh,nothign wrong with martial arts ads, they open doors, but this ad was a repackaging of an old program.
Same thing advertised years ago.
same techniques,
same grainy tape.
But it’s the advertising tactics that got me.
For instance…
“Live without fear the rest of your life!”
I didn’t know I was in fear.
I suppose in high school I was in fear.
But soon as I left that snakepit…
no…
I’m not living in fear.
Another catch line they had was
‘Watch (this video) once,
practice it if you want,
use it tomorrow.’
So,
no study,
no practice,
and it will be usable.
Huh!
I say do my courses,
practice the crap out of them.
and they become workable.
But practice!
And,
may I point out
that practice is fun,
and not something you should sneer at,
as this ad does.
And,
my favorite,
there are special forces and SEALs and
all manner of terrorist killers
who praise this tape as the way they are alive today.
15 techniques,
that’s all,
and the baby will be safe and genetically sound.
I could go on for a few hours on this type of stuff,
but it is really counter productive.
So let me just say this…
Would you rather buy a quick fix,
that always includes
a kick to the pomegranates,
a poke to the eyes,
and a poke to the eyes
that will raise his hands
so you can kick him in the pomegranates?
Or would you rather buy a complete art?
They say 15 techniques
and you will be safe from all the convicts
drug dealing
rapists
murderer scum in the world.
I say you should forget the fairy tales,
and get to work.
Fancy talking vs your own hard work.
Now,
let me explain something,
what I do is an education.
What they do is make money.
Nothing wrong with making money,
making money is good,
as long as you are offering a solid product in exchange for it.
Let me explain something,
the structure of these ads goes like this.
Make the sucker like you,
as soon as he likes you scare him with a problem,
then offer him the solution to the problem for a slight fee.
That’s how it works.
Let me rewrite that for you…
Share your desires for a good home and a job you love until he knows he is just like you,
then tell him a burglar is going to break in and rape your girl and your dog,
and then sell him a burglar alarm system.
It doesn’t matter if the system is a bunch of empty cans you tie to a doorknob,
what matter is that you got his money.
Do you understand?
Now,
examine the structure of what I do.
You don’t have to like me.
There is a problem in the martial arts of education,
I offer that education.
Let me rewrite that for you.
I know that people are different,
I know that there are going to be people who don’t understand or like what I’m going to do,
that’s just the way the world works,
and I hope you understand that.
The martial arts have been mixed up,
crossbred,
dumbed down,
made into a Three Stooges fire drill,
and I have the method to fix that.
But,
you need to get some simple tools
and use them till they come out your ears.
Sure,
it’s a quick fix,
but only if you’re work intensive.
Yes,
you can earn a belt fast,
but if you think it’s going to be a gift,
you should go find one of those internet scammers.
Look,
I sell (for instance)
the Matrix Karate course.
The forms are arranged
so the techniques are in order,
and presented in two man format
so you get used to standing and facing and fighting.
But you are going to have to stand and face and fight,
or you are going to get nothing out of it!
And I present a handful of techniques,
but then I show you how to matrix them,
so they multiply like logical rabbits.
Within a few minutes that handful of techniques becomes
squared, then squared again,
and suddenly you have thousands of techniques,
but they are not illogical!
They make sense,
they fight together,
and they even fit together with other arts!
Do you have to do thousands of techniques?
No,
but you have to do the handful of techniques,
and understand the logic
and you have to do them until they come out your ears.
Anybody who thinks I don’t love the martial arts,
and that I have not sweated for ever 45 years,
is a fool.
This is not a quick fix,
this is an education.
And it is a VERY sad truth,
that nobody has this education.
It really is.
Let me tell you a secret.
I bruised for the first seven years.
Then I started figuring it out,
and I stopped bruising.
Yep.
My body actually doesn’t bruise.
Not hardly at all.
Rarely.
And,
here’s the funny thing,
if I don’t think about the technique,
if I let it out
even just a little,
the people I block get BIG bruises.
Now,
how can you get somebody to get that ability,
except through hard work and sweat and even a little blood?
But,
it’s all a matter of awareness,
of focusing awareness through doing the blocks enough,
until you become sufficiently aware of the body,
and then it just doesn’t bruise anymore.
Or,
other things can happen,
but bruises don’t.
Now,
the ONLY way to teach that,
is through hard work.
BUT,
if you make the hard work logical,
then you cut the time down
by half,
by four times.
Heck,
in some cases
you can cut training time down by ten.
But,
work,
focus awareness,
but logically,
that is my secret.
So,
if you think you can read once,
not practice,
and be a Navy SEAL tomorrow,
go for it.
But,
if you want to learn a complete martial art,
all the bells and whistles,
all the guts and trim,
all the joy and hard work…
then you have to be willing to get a course,
set up a few striking targets,
get a few friends over to the garage a few nights a week, work out like a dog, bruise and sweat,
AND HAVE SOME MOFO FUN!
There isn’t any other way.
Oinkey donkey,
I hope I’m preaching to the choir,
because I would hate to have my words wasted on Beavis and Butthead.
Now,
go through my arts,
pick the one you don’t know,
pick the one that will enhance your training.
If you know grappling and knees and elbows,
pick up Matrix Karate,
it will be fists and feet.
If you know Karate and pa kua,
if you know fists and feet and how to get arond somebody,
then pick up Shaolin Butterfly,
figure out how to angle in on the distance and close with somebody.
Then check out the Matrix Kung Fu so you can take ‘em down.
It shows you how to break the martial arts down,
and not in a cookie cutter approach,
but for yourself.
Do the table I show,
analyze your abilities at
hand, foot, knee, elbow, throw,
and then figure out what you need to make your art whole.
Heck,
write me an email if you find something confusing,
or if you aren’t sure which course will fix which distance.
But here’s a break down for you…
fists = matrix karate
feet = Power Kicks (a free bonus on the MAtrix Karate course)
knees and elbows = blinding steel.
(Yes, there is a short but sure matrix of knee and elbow training drills on that course)
stand up takedowns and throws = Matrix Kung Fu.
Just go through your art,
be honest about what you are lacking,
then fill in the pieces.
Could anything be easier?
Could anything be more logical?
I mean,
here are the keys to the kingdom!
Dopuble Oinkey Donkey.
I’m out of here.
Don’t mean to be abrupt,
but I have to see a man about a work out.
I’m the man,
and it’s my work out.
And you guys and gals…
enjoy the heck out of your own work out,
remember,
every form is a prayer.
So pray a lot,
and should that fight ever happen,
you will have a heaven of a chance.
Martial Arts Science is not based on the movie called The Matrix, but on a form of computer logic. It is based on Boolean Algebra, which puts three dimensional programs on to two dimensional screens (computers, TV, etc.)
That it works is proven by the hundreds of pages of martial arts testimonials I have received. These were not solicited by me, but just poured in. They came from people with no experience to many decades of experience. They came from people who studied karate, learned kung fu, practiced Aikido, and just about every other martial art under the sun. It is not unusual for me to receive a testimonial from some fellow with 35 years experience, a teach, who has practiced Hapkido, Silat, Tai Chi, and so on and so on and so on. These wins are all the result of putting Matrixing, the first and only Martial Arts Science on the planet, into their martial arts.
There is a simple science here…
Here are a few of the Martial Arts science wins I have received over the years:
There I was, doing a form, I was glowing and I had a certainty: I knew I was a Master. I knew I could be victorious in a fight but that I would never have to fight–my glow would melt any attempt to create a conflict. ~ Herb S
Herb was one of the first students to learn my martial arts science. This was way back in the eighties.
…my perception and awareness of my own body from the feet, legs, arms, etc., have gone up tremendously. The attention to detail seems never ending when studying and teaching. The ability to catch each detail, at the right time, is an important item to grasp if you want your student to really get what you’re teaching them. Wiley G
Wiley took one of the first Master Instructor Courses I ever prepared. The following win is a little longer, but it shows what YOU can do if you have the data of the only real Martial Arts Science.
First off, I would have to give you a little back history so you can fully appreciate where it is that I’m coming from. When I was about five, I started off learning Nagano Ryu from my father, who learned it from his uncle, who in turn learned it from his father, and so on. There wasn’t much too it – it was basically a garbled version of the 40 Monkeys, with some Judo basics, and no forms. [It turns out that this system is actually an ancient form of Ninjutsu that is no longer in existence today!] The main thing that I took away from this early training however was something that my father kept telling me, which was: “Practice one thing a thousand times and you will finally understand it. Practice it ten thousand times and you will be a master.” After about a hundred times of being thrown to the ground I got the picture. But, I also got the “bug.” I fell in love with the art, and have ever since been in the process of trying to become that master.
I spent my teen years learning Karate from an old Okinawan dude, and a sensei that wouldn’t give me my black belt until I could beat up every brown belt in the school. I learned countless forms, but barely any basics. After getting my black belt, I started fighting in semi-professional kick boxing matches. However, I eventually got beaten by a little Thai kid, and realized that all my years of karate training had little actual use in a real fight. So, I moved on to Muay Thai, and then Brazilian Jujutsu, and soon found myself gladiating in an octagon. Needless to say, those were the dark years of my art. (Though, I did learn some valuable up-close and personal lessons about what a real punch looks like and what it feels like to get your ass kicked!)
It took a real butt-kickin’ before I came to terms with the fact that I wasn’t going to become a true master through combat alone. So, I fell back on my previous training and started doing forms again. I decided that I would approach them from the viewpoint of how to make them actually work. After a while, I started to realize that the Old Masters just might have had something. A while longer and I re-kindled my purpose to resolve the martial arts puzzle and become that master that I always wanted to be. That’s right about when I met a guy at a party (Harry) who told me about this guy “Al” who supposedly already did just that. I was intrigued. I ordered some manuals and started pouring over them. I was so incredibly appreciative that somebody had already spent so much time researching and laying the path to a goal that I thought was going to take me a lifetime (maybe several.) My art expanded and I reached a whole new level.
Then I did the Master Instructor Course and it hit me. The Basics that are so concisely communicated in this course including the Matrix principle IS the solution. It doesn’t matter what “style” I call my art, because all styles follow these same principles. It doesn’t matter how hard I train or how many repetitions I do if I don’t train the right way. And I would never become a master if I didn’t know how it all fits together. Now I do! I can honestly say that I am now on the path that I have always sought as a martial artist. Thank you Al!
These wins are just the tip of the iceberg, and a good thing to do would be to go to the Testimonials page at Monster Martial Arts and do a search on your particular art. It might just pop up, and it might give you some ideas of what I’m doing and how this Matrixing thing, this Martial Arts Science, works.
Go to the Testimonials in the menu and do a search for your martial art!
Hi Sensei Al!
(On the Black Belt Course) Everything is working great! Thank you for the quick responses. I am enjoying the one on one videos. It may be cliche, but I do feel like I'm there. I also like the conversational style and the way you explain how you're teaching and why. You've got a new student for life. Thank you. ~ Daniel
What's interesting about Al Case's writings and teachings is there isn't any emphasis on 'the unknown' or 'mystery' behind martial arts. Al will slam this information in your face! Quite frankly the data isn't hidden, you'll find you're blind. ~ WG
Al Case is a powerful presence to be around, but if you can confront it, then you will not be sorry, for there is no one like him, and it is an extreme privilege and honor.
I used to read your articles in Inside Karate and was excited when I found your web site. ~ RV
As an old timer with thirty-five years of experience I was really bored, but your works have peaked my interest and shown me that there is much more to learn. I Thank You Again, Sincerely ~ CC
Where was this information 24 years ago? This course is one of the best things to ever happen to me. Thank you Al Case for the gift of knowledge!
Be blessed my teacher, ~ Rev. Ernest R
I bought the Infinite Fist tape YEARS ago and you know? I Keep going back to it! ~ KS
You are a master. You have opened me up to things that I have never thought of before. ~ KFM
I purchased your course on "Create Your Own Martial Art" and absolutely love it. I believe that your matrixing system is very unique. ~ DW
In my entire experience twenty years as a student and an instructor since, no one has contributed more to my martial arts education than you have. I started following your works twenty years ago and although I was young then I knew you had the True Art it was obvious to me even then. ~ Charles C
Students will know longer be slaves of poor instructors and practitioners. ~ Lonnie M
Win from Master Instructor Course
Let me start out by saying thank you. Thanks from all the martial artists who asked why. Al, I'm in the Security and Law enforcement field and carry Instructor credentials, so effective methods in combat and teaching them is what I constantly look for.
Win from Matrix Aikido
I just had to write to you to say WOW. Your INSTANT AIKIDO is great!!! ~ SD
My students have started coming up to me after class telling me how much more they are enjoying it, and that the classes have stopped being so ridged and now flow in a kind of give and take between me and them. I have stopped being a task master and started having fun and letting them teach me as well.
I did the Master Instructor Course and it hit me. The Basics that are so concisely communicated in this course including the Matrix principle IS the solution. It doesn’t matter what “style” I call my art, because all styles follow these same principles. It doesn’t matter how hard I train or how many repetitions I do if I don’t train the right way. And I would never become a master if I didn’t know how it all fits together. Now I do! I can honestly say that I am now on the path that I have always sought as a martial artist. Thank you Al!
I conducted a Matrix Aikido training class for a Security Team at a local manufacturing plant. I tailored the training according to their Use Of Force policy. As you know they need control and takedown skills. I knew Matrix Aikido would be the answer. The training plan you shared was boss. The class went so smoothly. The participants learned very quickly. By the end of the class you could see techniques of Monkey Boxing coming through. They were also able to create their own techniques. There was one female officer in the class who asked to become my private student. She was throwing, locking and taking down guys twice her size. The Security Supervisor wants me to come back and with more participants! I'll keep you posted. ~ L M
Have found your books and dvds excellent. My background is mainly in medical qigong but I practice Sun Style Tai CHi, BaGua and HsingI as well as Eagle Claw, Snake Style Kung Fu and several Wudang weapon styles. This is the first time I have had the underlying principles so clearly explained and in a way that they are immediately workable and demonstratable. I have worked through the Master Instructors Course, Aikido and Butterfly Bagua and have started to breakdown the Sun Hsing I using your matrix method. I was even able to teach a 70 year old friend of mine with no martial arts background your instant aikido where she was able to do some very accomplished locks and throws after the first lesson
